    MAKING THE GRADE
    HOWARD S. BECKER

    WRITING FOR SOCIAL SCIENTISTS
    HOWARD S. BECKER

And it provides a clear solution: In order to learn how to write, take a dee...

    BECOMING A MARIHUANA USER

    OG Kush. Sour Diesel. Wax, shatter, and vapes. Marijuana has come a long way since its seedy days in the back parking lots of our culture. So has Howard S. Becker, the eminent sociologist, jazz musician, expert on “deviant” culture, and founding NORML board member. When he published Becoming a Marihuana User more than sixty years ago, hardly anyone paid attention—because few pe...

    WHAT ABOUT MOZART? WHAT ABOUT MURDER?
    HOWARD S. BECKER
    In 1963, Howard S. Becker gave a lecture about deviance, challenging the then-conventional definition that deviance was inherently criminal and abnormal and arguing that instead, deviance was better understood as a function of labeling.  At the end of his lecture, a distinguished colleague standing at the back of the room, puffing a cigar, looked at Becker quizzically and asked...

    SYMBOLIC INTERACTION AND CULTURAL STUDIES
    HOWARD S. BECKER
    Symbolic interactionism, resolutely empirical in practice, shares theoretical concerns with cultural studies and humanistic discourse. Recognizing that the humanities have engaged many of the important intellectual currents of the last twenty-five years in ways that sociology has not, the contributors to this volume fully acknowledge that the boundary between the social science...

    "DO YOU KNOW...?"
    ROBERT R. FAULKNER / HOWARD S. BECKER
    Every night, somewhere in the world, three or four musicians will climb on stage together. Whether the gig is at a jazz club, a bar, or a bar mitzvah, the performance never begins with a note, but with a question. The trumpet player might turn to the bassist and ask, “Do you know ‘Body and Soul’?”—and from there the subtle craft of playing the jazz repertoire is tested in front...

    TELLING ABOUT SOCIETY
    HOWARD S. BECKER
    I Remember, one of French writer Georges Perec’s most famous pieces, consists of 480 numbered paragraphs—each just a few short lines recalling a memory from his childhood. The work has neither a beginning nor an end. Nor does it contain any analysis. But it nonetheless reveals profound truths about French society during the 1940s and 50s. Taking Perec’s book as its cue, Telling...
